DELIGHTFUL 'POPULAIRE'
FRENCH COMEDY TRAILER
Here's something charming and uplifting - US trailer for delightful French comedy POPULAIRE which has played in most of the worldwide cinemas already but will hit US cinemas this summer. Rose Pamphyle (Déborah François), 21, is determined to break free from her stifling existence. Living with her widowed father and dreary husband, she seems destined to remain a bored housewife. That is, until she applies for a job at an insurance agency and the charismatic boss (Romain Duris) offers her a job. Despite making a terrible receptionist, she types exceptionally fast. Suddenly, Rose finds herself entering a typing contest and is thrust into a completely new world.
I saw Gabaldon's tweet about Heughan after she saw his audition tape. She was impressed, to say the least. :))
ReplyDeleteyep, I almost thought she would pee herself from excitement... not that it surprises me... we've seen Sam's naked pics :) He is quite a man of metamorphosis.... he was blonde, he was dark haired, he will be redhead, he played a king, a prince, now a warrior... he even had gay scenes and smooched naked with boys :) Quite a versatile man, isn't he?
DeleteWorks for me. :D
Deletenow, let us see whom they choose for the female lead :) Hopefully some memorable lady, not some forgettable face :) Ooooh, I'd love my dear Tabreth Bethel in the role :)
Delete"Austenland" looks like a hoot! I bet all those Mr. Darcy's are gay.
ReplyDeleteyep, even I laughed a bit while watching the trailer and I can't stand Austen :)
Deletei cannot comment, until the wheels on the bus go round and round... there is a joke there, just not funny me thinks...
ReplyDeleteyou should hire a riksha, Jeremy, it's faster than a bus....
DeleteMy, my, my Mr. Heughan has some baby blues doesn't he? They match his shirt quite nicely.
ReplyDeleteI did hear that the character from the book has cat eyes :) so I guess they've cast him nicely
DeleteI barely know who Jane Austen is
ReplyDeleteand I love you for that, Adam :)
DeleteBelieve it or not, I've only read one Jane Austen novel. (I did like it!) I think Austenland does look funny!
ReplyDeleteI read two or three (had to at college) and almost puked myself....
DeleteSam Heughan would be a great fit! And I cannot WAIT for Austenland. :)
ReplyDeleteglad you approve of Sam, Martina :) And welcome to HOLLYWOOD SPY :)
DeleteAUSTENLAND Yes very good and funny movie !
ReplyDeleteGreetings
glad you like it, Captain :)
DeleteI'm not an Austen fan but this is a very funny trailer. All the cliches are there and it looks like a marvelous satire.
ReplyDeletePopulaire has so much style to it. There's that classic 50's look that I find so appealing.
we do love tasty satires, dear :)
DeleteThey certainly enjoyed fashion back in the 50s and 60s :)
I have never heard of these movies before, but they do look quite intriguing!

they really do
DeletePopulaire looks really cute - although a speed typewriting competition sounds a little outdated in today's world!
ReplyDeletethey would have a bigger competition today since everybody uses keyboards and has quick fingers thanks to messaging :)
DeleteLove the Sam pic. Look at those blue eyes.
ReplyDeletematches his character's eyes :)
DeleteI loved Jane Austen in literature classes. Seeing adaptations and other related movies feels like overkill now.
ReplyDeleteit's a nice ironic comedy on Austen fans
DeleteI am giving a thumbs up to the whole lot :)
ReplyDeletewhy, thanks! And I thought it was a poor day in news business :)
DeleteI am now catching up the posts I have missed. I will definitely watch Austenland. Seems like a very entertaining film. I'm a big fan of Romain Duris so I'll definitely be watching out of Populaire. :)
ReplyDeleteglad you like both projects, dear :) Should be fun, both of them!
